Mexico English Growth and Need

September´s Kingdom Ministry included a letter from the Mexico Branch office speaking of the growth in the field during the 2005 service year. Here are some of the figures.

There was a new English circuit added last year. Which makes 3 for the country. Our congregation is part of the new circuit that was formed.

There are 642 congregation in all of Mexico comprised of 14,515 publishers. The memorial attendance last year was 57,370 which is 395% of the number of publishers.

In Belize, there are 19 Spanish-language congregations, 18 English, and 2 Mayan-speaking congregations.

Locally, in our congregation we have 38 publishers. The 22 publishers conducted 174 studies last year and the 14 pioneers conducted 297 studies. The publishers in our congregation average 20 hours a month, which makes our publishers to have the highest monthly average in the country!

Although we have such great support in the ministry there is still a great need. The 38 publishers in the Oaxaca english congregation are to canvass the entire state of Oaxaca, including coastal towns, which means the per publisher ratio is 1 for every 20,000!

The PO here is very serious about recruiting Americans. So if any of you are interested in coming down and checking out, just let us know and we can get you all the information you will need!
